They tried the $1900 addon crap with me too.  I ended up giving them $250 which was more than I wanted to for wheel locks, a bit of clear film on door edges and behind door handles, paint and fabric protectant (sure....) and some kinda gps vehicle tracker/theft protection crap (working with that company now to get it removed).  So my total deal was Supplier Price less $3500 rebates ($3000 customer cash and $500 for GM Financial financing) + $250.  I gave in on the $250 because I wanted the truck, and wasn’t sure when I’d be able to find another I wanted at a similar deal.

I would've paid $250 no problem.  They didn't want to budge at all so I left.  One place I went wanted $3k add-ons and even less value, except 2 extra oil changes, so I offered $500 since the oil changes were worth a little.  They said no also.  They had that truck for a month and i guess don't want to sell it.  IDK.  Glad they didn't now since I've changed my mind and am getting the 2500HD instead.  But still, it's crazy to me they don't want a bird in the hand, they'd rather try for 2 in the bush.  I thought about messaging the owner to let him know they are actively turning away sales for $84k trucks.  guaranteed $10k profit or so.  Or a complaint to General Motors about all the nonsense trying to buy a truck.  Not sure it would matter.  It's definitely a reason companies are looking to go factory direct like Tesla.  The customer buying experience is just abysmal.  I appreciate your help though.  I'll keep looking, guess I'll go outside of Houston area and see what I can find.

IMO for what its worth the hard stand dealers we see today will be withered down or completely gone in the next 10-15 years.  I dont need a typical dealer to buy the car, and GM or whomever can qualify as many shops out there to work on their stuff much like AAA does for towing.  Dealers are the biggest wholesaler scam going.  Factories can probably get easier sales,  cut out the 2-5k a dealer takes off the top and pass that savings on,  and then the consumer can pay anybody to work on their stuff not a dealer that charged over 100 bucks an hour for labor.

Yeah, I messaged GMC (probably a robo account) as much.  Think I found a dealer outside of Texas that wants to deal.  Have to wait for it to be built and delivered, but I guess we will see how it goes.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
